Syringa vulgaris ‘New Age White’, known as New Age White lilac, is a modern variety of common lilac appreciated for its abundant flowering and high disease resistance. This compact shrub develops a rounded, dense habit with vigorous branches adorned with heart-shaped, medium green leaves. In spring, it produces numerous panicles of pure white single flowers that release a classic and very pleasant lilac fragrance. Its bright blossoms attract pollinators and brighten up spring flowerbeds.

To plant the ‘New Age White’ common lilac, choose an appropriate exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: well-drained, tolerant of calcareous soils. Allow the lilac enough space for light to reach its branches. Significant pruning before flowering can remove already formed buds.

During establishment, check moisture levels by hand before watering again.
